B-Line Eaton series open racks, Aluminum, Telco gray powder coat, Customer premise style, Two-post network equipment rack, 11 gauge, ASTM A570

It's a two-post open frame rack, customer premise style, sold as model SB55608423U6TG. Two-post means equipment mounts to a pair of vertical rails with no side panels, doors, or rear posts. That suits patch panels, switches, and shallow telecom gear that can be supported at the front (or front and center). Deep, heavy servers that need front-and-rear rail support belong on a four-post rack or an enclosed cabinet instead.

Plan on a footprint from a 24-5/16 inch width and 23 inch depth, with a 23 inch height figure given for the unit. Two-post racks are bolted to the floor and usually need clear aisle on both sides for rear cable access, so lay out more than the bare footprint when you site it in a closet.

Yes, the rack carries a UL Listed certification. For institutional and MRO specs that call out listed equipment racks in communications rooms, that is the mark to reference on the submittal.

The frame is aluminium finished in Telco gray powder coat, with 11 gauge material to ASTM A570. Aluminium does not rust the way plain steel does, and the powder coat adds a further barrier, so it holds up in unconditioned closets and MDF rooms better than a bare or painted steel frame.

It weighs 37 lb, so a single installer can carry and stand it up. The aluminium construction is why it's light compared with a steel two-post frame of similar size. Anchoring to the floor is still the job that decides stability once gear is loaded.

The rack is the frame only. Budget separately for floor anchors, horizontal and vertical cable management, rack screws or cage nuts to match your equipment, a grounding kit, and any ladder rack or overhead runway feeding the top. Open frame construction means every cable run is exposed, so cable management is not optional on a customer premise install.

Telco gray powder coat is the standard finish used across telecom and network rack lines, so it lines up visually with existing Telco gray frames and ladder rack in the same room. If your existing frames are black, this one will not match.
